I don't think so. Consciousness leaves you every time you fall asleep. Technically you die every night and wake up a new man with the same memories by morning.
if it dies every night why does it come back in the morning? The consciousness is not a living being like us to be able to revive on its own volition, so it either dies and disappears for good (which - of course - it doesn't), or it never dies, therefore it's immortal...
Death is an act of compassion.
I don't think I understand this. Care to explain how a biological function (death) can be a human trait?
Life is usually very hard and very monotonous.
for us, at this current time, and in this society that's rigged to reward the brutes... On other planets and for other races of humans life is beautiful and easy... ok, maybe not totally easy, but it's definitely more beautiful and fulfilling than our lives. But that's because they live in normal, well organized societies (based on high morality, high responsibility, high creativity, and the beings themselves are highly moral, kind and self-developing, they're not interested in wars, greed, harming other beings, sexual depravity, drugs and whatnot, like we are)
Imagine living with financial needs
we don't have to imagine this because we are already living it...
Imagine living without finances at all. Imagine all of the people, from all over the planet, getting together and turning the planet into a borderless luxurious green Paradise with sparkling clean waters, moderate climate all over the planet, unlimited healthy food for everyone at every minute of the day or night and everyone being completely free, healthy, happy, mentally, physically and emotionally strong, having access to everything and anything they want without restrictions, and being free to travel / teleport / levitate wherever they want at all times.
In such a normal society everyone would have everything they needed to live 1000s of years in peace and having only 2 goals: creating whatever they want (that can help the planet and population thrive) and bettering themselves.
Such a scenario is possible... well, not today, of course because we are busy accruing wealth, gossiping, and hating on others because they're politically right or left, because they're christians or muslims, or because they're black, white, yellow, etc.. Unless we ALL get rid of these segregations and start caring about each other (so, anglophonic supremacy needs to go and the anglophones, ie. the Brits, the Americans, the Aussies, the Canadians, etc need to start caring about the Palestinians, the Chinese, the Romanians, the Somalis, etc like they were their own siblings... and vice-versa, of course) we won't be able to reach this status of a normal society and we will keep fighting each other while the powers that be keep us enslaved, weak, poor and manipulated. But such a society is very doable, but probably not in the next few 100 years, but it's possible for our grand-grand-grand (20x) children to reach it, but before that happens we need to get our shit together and start acting like one, or else none of us lives to see 2030 without divine or extraterestrial intervention...
Life as we know it is made to be finite and if there is a different way of living, it is not yet known.
maybe it's not known by most of us, but some of us know it. What I explained above is a model of a normal, healthy society that exists in other parts of the Universe
Months ago Elon predicted that AI will soon surpass human intelligence, becoming so ubiquitous that "intelligence that is biological will be less than 1 per cent"
Elon is a sore loser (yes, because I say so) and his lies have no correspondence in reality. Artificial intelligence can never surpass the real intelligence since the AI needs constant input from humans to be able to keep up with our reality in which the AI exists
Sure, the AI is oftentimes more intelligent than most people, but so are the intelligent people, so this is not exclusive to the AI.
As for the 1% part... well, the technocrats need a good whooping, as they're obsessed with technology and artificial stuff more than it's healthy even for themselves. These morons are made up - just like everyone else - from flesh and blood, and they eat and defecate just like the rest of us, so I don't understand this fascination to obsession with AI.
Instead of focusing on, and helping what truly matters in life (the HUMANS), instead they fill the entire planet with machines and try to "humanize" these. Fucking pathologically sick idiots! If I'll ever get my hands on a technocrat like this I'll show him AI: I'll keep him imprisoned and feed him only circuits and transistors for a whole year just so it gets into his retarded brains that humans live on Oxygen, water, food, and environments, not on circuit boards and wires...
Now many AI leads are saying that companies have run out of data for training their models and have “exhausted” the sum of human knowledge.
what a shock, huh? The poor advanced AI is so advanced that it can't surpass us unless we feed it more knowledge. Shocking!
Consciousness does not entirely leave us during sleep; rather, it transitions through different states.
my beliefs too...
Regardless of what many of us believe....a "period" is coming soon that we (including myself) may not be prepared for.
many of us will not be prepared for this (and yes, I include myself too in this given how weak and ill-ridden I've been my entire life)...
But the thing is, if the psychopaths that rule over us cared about us (and about themselves too since, ultimately, we're all in this together) many of us would transition towards the new evolutionary rhythms smoothly and without much pain, but instead of working towards the betterment of everyone (and - again - the betterment of themselves too since they're also humans and are subjected to the same things that everyone else is) these greedy pigs only care about polarizing all wealth and all power in their greasy, dirty hands.
They have also been subtle declassyfying information related to aliens while before they were tightlipped
EXTRATERESTRIALS, NOT aliens. Come on, people, stop insulting our superiors and start calling them what they are.
Alien - while having neutral / impartial connotations initially - has become an insulting word due to the psychopathic Hollywood producers who have always imagined these advanced creatures (that many of us even are descending from) as green, grey, evil, monstrous, etc (see the Alien and Predator movies, for example).
In reality, some of them might be ugly, but a lot of them are more beautiful than even the most beautiful men and women on Earth, so calling them aliens is at least insulting if not outright aggressive
